SXR30 Satellite using backhaul over Ethernet will not auto upgrade firmware
My SXr30 and the SXS30 that is Wireless Connected Satellite will auto upgrade firmware. But my 1 Satellite connected via Ethernet Backhaul will not seem to auto upgrade. Anyone seen this ? Rega...
How is the SXS connected to the SXR? directly to the back of the SXR or is there a patch panel or LAN switch in between?
SXS30 is connected via switch.
Should it be plugged into SXR30 directly? if so then Lan configuration would need to be default for that port correct ?

Hi aafa760,
Just want to follow-up if you already tried connecting the SXS30 directly to the SXR30 via Ethernet cable and if that auto-upgrades the firmware.
Also, the LAN configuration should be fine with its default settings.

Does it matter the speed of the connection? 10mib ok? trying to get it to 100mib or 1 gb
Will test this this weekend.

I direct connected the sat using network back haul to the router so next firmware update we will see if it connects to the router,
in the advanced admin section about firmware update it still has not connected to sat2.
I was able to login to sat 2 and update firmware manualy

UPDATE
The connection from Router to Sat is now direct no switch and the VLAN/BRIDGE setting for the two router lan ports used in the network.
set for Default1 the Wireback haul now shows connection and firmware at correct levels.

What is the brand and model# of this switch?
What CAT# LAN cables are you using? CAT6 is recommended.
I'm currently using my SXK30 in AP mode. SXS30 is connected to the SXR with NGs GS-105/108 series switches in between.
aafa760 nitropowerNetgear GS724TPP Switch.
no vlan tags on ports
Any way I was able to connect all the sat via wireless and all is working as described.
I will revisit this when the new classrooms are finished they will be cat 6 connected to the switch or Directly to the Router.
Ok. That's a managed switch. Seen some manages switches cause problems for some users. One user mentioned years ago about disabling all IGMP protocols on these switches was a solution. Might give this a try. Not sure if Orbi pro would be affected in same way as Orbi Home though. Also seen some switches with Green Ethernet features cause problems as well, tough I was given feedback about Orbi Pro shouldn't be bothered by this. Otherwise give a non managed switch a try between the SXR and SXS.
